@AlexwilliamsNYC, who wrote the piece, is white. Everyone he writes about in L.A. is white. In a city where 30% of the people are white. -

They actually write about Leimert Park as if it's there for the taking by whites. Without mentioning it's a black. EIGHTY PERCENT BLACK.

@thelittleidiot, whose entire take on the drought is Don't Eat Meat You Savages! while swimming in his pool. -
It's not just irresponsible: making 70% of the people in the city you're writing about in the newspaper of record invisible is violent.
